The story of Catherine of Aragon is almost entirely historically accurate, which surprised me. However, it lacks the ingredients for an emotionally investing story. Furthermore, it is a bit disappointing that Anne Boleyn is so villainized, although that could be explained due to the story being told from Catherine’s point of view.
